Vox Satchurator Pedal Review

Vox Satchurator Pedal

VOX Amplification have always aligned themselves with musicians of equal legendary status. The very first VOX evangelist’s were The Shadows followed years later by The Beatles, Brian May of Queen, The Edge of U2 and many more famous artists. Their latest collaboration effort involves another legendary guitarist by the name of “Joe Satriani”, you’ve been living under a rock if you’ve never heard of him! Joe Satriani is easily one of the most successful guitar instrumentalists of all time and has garnered many awards and accolades over the years. This dynamite “VOX/Satriani” duo have invested a lot of time and R&D into this particular range of pedals and in the process their collaboration has spawned several new and exciting products. Their ultimate goal was to create a series of pedals that exhibit “boutique” tone qualities, yet have added functionalities and increased reliability.

Squier Deluxe QMT Stratocaster

Squier Deluxe QMT Stratocaster

The “Quilted Maple Top” Deluxe Stratocaster can best be described as Squiers enhanced version of their standard Stratocaster series. The most obvious upgrade is the antique burst “Quilted Maple Top” which is stylishly complimented by the pseudo “mother of pearl” scratch-plate. The additional upgrades are less noticeable visually, but in my opinion their contribution is of more importance to the over-all quality and improved feature set of this particular model.

Line 6 Variax 600

Have you ever dreamed of owning either a Les Paul, Fender Stratocaster, Fender Telecaster, Gretsch, Rickenbacker, Gibson ES-335 or ES-175? What if I said you could emulate these famous tones as well as acoustic guitar, banjo and sitar all from just a single guitar? I wouldn’t blame anyone for thinking that this all sounded a little too good to be true, but Line 6 has been able to achieve the impossible by including all these features and more in their ground breaking range of Variax guitars.
